Lost in his headlights

I know everyone has had that moment when they are waiting for that special someone to pull up to the curb, or into the driveway to pick you up for a special night; and as the headlights track from your toes to your head, that sudden, self conscious moment washes over you just like the lights.  Tonight, as the lights flashed up the drive I felt almost bashful as my eyes rose to meet his.  Have to love those little moments that still make you go weak in the knees; whether it's a new love or an old one, those times are special. 

Two designers have truly captured what Summer feels like for me with their breezy, yet form fitting creations created in a stunning true beach and tropics palette.  Lush by CoCo releases in collections, so these fantastic designs are not new to the grid, but are definitely must haves for this skin baring Summer season.  Loovus has wonderful, gauzy dresses for the summer for you to check out that premiered at the last round of Sneak Peek, as well as these sexy, strappy heels in complimentary colors to both stores' collections.  Do yourself a favor and head on over to Loolush and discover the amazing creations from Lush by CoCo and Loovus!

I love the fit on this dress as it didn't break or stretch when posing or walking around on the grid.  It fit PERFECTLY with my Slink Physique after just a few clicks which is always a plus in my book.  If you are looking for a gorgeous jewelry set for this Summer as well, make sure to head by Lazuri and pick up the STUNNING new collection that was released for Spring.  The set includes, earrings, necklace, bracelets and two styles of rings.  "Touch" any of the pieces to change the stones, pearls and metals to match your favorite ensembles.

Paris Chic

If you are looking for a fresh new look hot off the runways in Paris, then look no further than AnaMarkova Designs for perfectly textured and expertly designed fashion!

Pose by InnerDive

 

One of the perfect examples is the aptly named "Paris" collection that comes in a variety of colors, featuring different designs on the t-shirt for each color combination.  Being a huge Marilyn Monroe fan I immediately fell in love with the Creme set featured here.  The high-waisted skirt has an elegant peplum above the belt line giving it a bit of whimsy, as do the "pop art" style t-shirts.  The leather texture on the jacket is very well done and the mesh doesn't break when moving around or posing.  AnaMarkova also has fantastic shoes to accompany and compliment the designs, like the "Bette" heels I chose to don for this ensemble.  They come in a wide variety of colors so you are sure to find just what you are looking for this season!  Do yourself a favor and head on over to the store to check out all the newest releases and to see what goodies are available around the grid as well.

Cannibelle @ The Candy Fair

Oh no!  Guess what?!  The Candy Fair ENDS in 4 days!  If you haven't made it over to wander through and gaze at all the goodies, then you really, really should, because as of the 17th, they will be sweeping up the sidewalks and shutting the doors.  I know you don't want to be the only of your friends who missed out on this fantastic round!  Cannibelle released exclusive Candy Stripe Lingerie for the event, with matching stockings that come with almost every applier known to SL!  The outfits are very well textured, and the Slink applier for the stockings is seamless, which we all know from wearing them that this isn't always the case!  Great job Cannibelle!  And of course, looking so adorably sexy in this lingerie, I just had to complete the look with more goodies from the event!

Jet Set Continental

Every month I find myself wandering back to one of my favorite stores to grab their new goodies.  Last week when I walked into GizzA I, for a brief moment, thought I might have stumbled into a new store.... The crisp lines and bright, fresh colors of their new Nautical Collection, and the pieces of, what I would call, their Boho Chic Collection have brought new life to GizzA!  Needless to say, as you can imagine, I picked myself a whole bunch of things!  This isn't a post about the newest or hottest event, it is about a quality store that provides unique, stylish clothing at pretty affordable prices!  Don't get me wrong, I know I will spend at least 2k in Linden when I walk in the door, but I know that they will be of the highest quality with great attention to detail, and I know they will always fit in with my everyday wardrobe!  Now, enough with that, let's get onto this outfit!!!

Matilda comes with the skin tight half tank, jacket, skirt, necklace, handbag and sunglasses in a variety of colors for you to choose from.  The teal offered so many bright wonderful colors that it immediately got my attention and kept it!  The complete look is stunning and the outfit is very well made as well.  I am very particular about my shape, and there were minor adjustments to fit my curves into this perfectly.  The handbag looks like real leather, and the pose coming with it is helpful when stopping to grab a picture in a great location! 

If you follow my blog, then you know that Zenith is a favorite of mine when looking for perfect, whimsical accessories, and often clothes as well, and the Butterfly ring pictured here is no exception.  Now I know, The Arcade and The Thrift Shop have ended now, but I have fallen in love with a few things from each of them.

EXILE's hair offering at The Arcade, is honestly something I played until I had them ALL!  I love both of the styles offered in the London to L.A. pack, and of course, I rarely stray far from my reds!  Check the yardsales and maybe the store to see if you can get your hands on this fantastic hair!  The Papilones tattoo from The Thrift Shop has become a fast favorite, as it is very feminine and is not overdone.  Check Letis for the tattoo now, since The Thrift Shop has been closed for a few days. 
Now, one of the really neat features of this outfit, is the fact the tank is not mesh and the jacket can be worn with or without the tank top.  I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at the perfect on this jacket, with and without the top on underneath it.  No alpha bleed through and I didn't feel like I was flashing the world, which is always a plus!

Happy Shopping!

Bohemian Lost

I know I am a little bit behind for this month, but wanted to take the time and do a post spotlighting MoDANNA, for the latest round of The Big Show, and Zenith from The Arcade and Collabor88.   This stunning gypsy skirt comes in a few different colors and is matched up for The Big Show with adorable bandana tops, but off to the side were these gorgeous tank tops that match up perfectly with this skirt.  The top has a plunging neckline that might require a few adjustments around the breasts, but it fits wonderfully.  Another fantastic detail is the fact this top is essentially backless and provides a very sexy side view as well as from the front and back.  Zenith has become a fast and furious favorite of mine, and once again at both The Arcade and Collabor88, they provide stunning accessories!  The bag is the Rare from The Arcade, and the necklace and rings can be found at Collabor88 before they close!  Otherwise, make sure to check the store and see what other wonderful delights they have for you!
